Most teenagers experience acne; and even a mild case is a curse during those awkward years.However, for some, with a more severe, chronic type, it continues into adulthood, and becomes a permanent blight in their lives.This is bad news, as it can even scar them – and in more ways than one.

The good news, though, is that we can treat not only the acne, but the scars that it may cause.In fact, we have a variety of effective techniques, including laser, pulsed light therapy, chemical gel peels, deep, pore-cleansing facials, and collagen fillers.

So, if you’re plagued by continual break-outs, we’ll help you to break out of that vicious cycle, and you can start the New Year with a new look.

While spider veins and varicose veins are similar, they do have their differences.For example, both kinds are formed when stagnant blood pools in the veins, and causes swelling.They are also more common in women, and are often triggered by hormonal imbalances or pregnancy.

However, spider veins, which are just beneath the skin’s surface, are usually smaller, darker, and less serious, than the varicose variety.Another distinction between the two is that, although mostly thought of as being on the legs, spider veins, perhaps quite appropriately, seem to have legs, as they can also travel to other areas of the body, including the face and chest.

Not to worry.No matter which type you have, or where they’re located, with our Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL), a painless, ground-breaking new procedure, we can quickly exterminate any problem veins that may be bugging you.

If you’re sick of going home every evening looking tired and worn-out, come see us on Working Women’s Wednesday, for a “Lunchtime Peel.” Technically known as microdermabrasion, it’s a pleasant, non-invasive procedure that gently exfoliates the skin, and stimulates new cell growth.

A great treatment for fine lines, sun-damaged skin, superficial scars, acne, and uneven skin tone, it will immediately improve the overall texture, elasticity, and tone of your complexion; and it requires no recovery time.

Just think – you can leave here, appearing relaxed and rejuvenated; and nobody will say, “Geez, you really must have had a rough day!”

With the holiday season officially underway, most people will be going to a lot of parties during the next few weeks.What’s more, as these affairs will be characterized by high levels of glow, glitter, and glitz, many may want to show up sparkling as brightly as the Christmas lights.

The only trouble is that all of the socializing can make them feel as if they’re under a microscope, which leads some people to become self-conscious about minor flaws in their appearances, such as lines on their foreheads.

If this is your concern, we may be able to smooth things out for you with a 10-minute BOTOX treatment.In this procedure, we’ll make a few, tiny injections into the muscles that are responsible for creating frown lines, thus blocking the chemical that causes them to contract, and enabling them to stay relaxed.

And don’t worry – it won’t affect your ability to smile, laugh, or show any other expressions.So, even if you’re being bored to death by a big windbag, you can still feign interest his story!

With the approach of the holidays, and all of the related get-togethers with family, friends, and colleagues, you’re going to want to shine, in every way.Therefore, besides brushing up on your social skills and party etiquette, you may also wish to make sure that your teeth are as dazzling as possible.

With our professional cosmetic teeth whitening services, your teeth can be three to six shades whiter after two 15-minute sessions!The process is safe, and provides amazingly quick, long-lasting results; and it can be done on virtually anyone who has healthy teeth and gums.Another great advantage is that, although our whitening gel is the same type that dentists use, you won’t have to visit any of their offices – or pay their prices.

So, give us a call and set up an appointment, and you can have whiter teeth before you attend your first holiday party.That way, when you’re engaged in sparkling conversation with your fellow revelers, you can be confident that your teeth will be glistening as they’re all listening.

Well, it’s early November, which means that it’s time to make a resolution
to finally get into shape. Heck, why not? There’s no sense in waiting until January, because, by then, all of the holiday parties will be over; and those are the occasions for which you’ll really want to look your best, especially when mingling with people that you haven’t seen (and who haven’t seen you) in awhile.
On the other hand, perhaps you already made this resolution last New Year’s Eve, but have not yet fulfilled it. Of course, if that’s the case, then you’d better hurry, because 2012 is only about eight weeks away! If you think that there’s not enough time to achieve a better figure before then, don’t worry.
From body contouring, to liposuction, we have a variety of safe, non-invasive methods for removing or reducing fat and cellulite, tightening and smoothing your skin, and even reshaping your abdomen, arms, waist, back, thighs, hips, neck, and buttocks. Whether you want to start transforming yourself in time for the holidays, or get a running start on next year, remember - at the Advanced Liposuction Center, there’s more than one way to skim the fat!

Applying makeup correctly is a skill that takes a while to master. When first experimenting with it, many teenage girls slather it on, as if trying to send the world a bold-faced message that they are now adults. Unfortunately, though, they usually end up looking like little girls who got into their mothers’ cosmetics while playing dress-up. Certainly, many women remember those early days of trial-and-error (and error, and error), when wearing makeup was new and exciting.

Luckily, with maturity, most women gain an appreciation of subtlety, and refine their techniques to produce more elegant, understated looks. Naturally, we all discover and develop our own styles, too, as we test myriad combinations of foundations, and the endless palettes of lipstick and eye shadow colors that are available.

Of course, our complexions continue to change, as time marches on (on our faces, that is!); and, eventually, wearing makeup can turn from being capricious and fun, into a very serious business.

The trouble is that this leads some women to revert to the heavy-handed method of application, using it to fill in lines and wrinkles, or to draw on, or augment, lips or eyebrows. Not only does this result in exaggerated, unnatural-looking features, but the makeup may also settle into lines, making them even more noticeable, or melt or fade away. This is the point where many women begin to lament the cruel irony that they originally started wearing it because they wanted to look older.

As the years pass, failing eyesight, unsteady hands, and various medical conditions, can also make it difficult to apply cosmetics properly and evenly. Moreover, once it becomes a tiring, time-consuming chore, many women simply give up on it. Sadly, this can be very depressing, and may even make some people self-conscious enough to avoid socializing.

On the other hand, happily, most of these situations can be resolved. If you’ve exhausted your makeup bag of tricks, it may be time to try a new kind of magic. At Body Beautiful Laser Medi-Spa, Marcia Hale can rejuvenate your appearance with permanent cosmetics for your eyes, lips, and brows; and she is a genuine makeup artist.

In fact, she’s an exceptionally talented, all-around artist, whose paintings and murals adorn the walls of many offices (including ours), reception areas, and homes. Fervent about her craft, Marcia, who has a keen, unerring eye for detail, and a genius for nuance, brings the same passion and skills to her vocation as our Permanent Makeup Technician.

For those with age-related issues, the procedures that she performs can sometimes have life-changing results. Besides sparing them from a grueling, unmanageable task, having permanent cosmetics applied greatly boosts their self-confidence.

Even people who can still easily put on makeup may need help with other problems, such as thinning lips or lashes, or eyebrows that are sparse, or non-existent, either from over-plucking, or because of medical conditions. In such cases, Marcia will add fullness and definition to lips, with color and liner, or design natural-looking eyebrows that complement her clients’ faces perfectly. She can also give eyes a more youthful, animated look, with permanent eyeliner, and make lashes appear more voluminous as well.

The procedures are safe, and normally do not necessitate any downtime. The entire process may require 2-3 visits, as the initial application acts as a primer, which will fade several days after the first session, until it is revived with further treatments.

“It’s like an instant facelift,” says Marcia, “and one small change, such as adding a slight arc [creating a fuller bow] to an upper lip that has lost its shape, can have a dramatic impact. Another great thing is that most people won’t even realize that you had anything done; they’ll just notice that you look refreshed.”

Indeed, the enthusiasm with which she speaks makes it obvious that Marcia takes great joy in helping women – and men – to appear more vivacious, and regain their self-esteem.

So, if you want to get excited about makeup again, come in and put your face in Marcia’s hands!

Although Halloween is approaching, something even scarier lurks in the shadows. Yes, the holidays will soon be upon us, bringing a string of non-stop get-togethers. That means that, not only will you be under pressure to look your best, but, factoring in friends, relatives, mistletoe, and New Year’s Eve celebrations, your lips will really be in the spotlight!

If you’d like to have them enhanced, but are afraid that the old-style implants may leak, or make your lips appear unnatural, consider our revolutionary PermaLip Implants™. Unlike anything that’s been offered before, these soft, solid silicone implants will never rupture, deflate, or degrade. Available in a variety of diameters and lengths, their tapered ends let them easily and comfortably conform to individual lip shapes, so they look incredibly natural. Moreover, even though they’re permanent, they can be promptly removed if you wish to change sizes, or decide that you don’t want them at all.

Of course, you’ll probably be pleased as punch with these permanent implants, because, amid all of the parties and presents, whether puckered, pursed, or pouting, your lips will be perpetually pretty and picture-perfect!

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — More and more people are getting tattoos, but that decision may not be something you like years down the road.
Now, there’s growing demand for ways to cover up or remove those unwanted tattoos and there are some new ways to do that in the Pittsburgh area.
Randi Hoffman of Bethel Park is getting married in the spring and she wants to look her best in her dress, so she’s having her two tattoos removed.
“We were all out and some of the girls got them and it sounded like a good idea; and now, I don’t want to walk down the aisle with a tattoo down the back of my neck,” said Hoffman. She’s also having another tattoo on her wrist removed. It’s not allowed where she works.

“To cover them, I use make up and it works,” she said. “But it’s just sort of a pain, and on a hot day, it can run.
So, she says she is willing to go through pain and money to get them off.
Hoffman went to Body Beautiful, which has 10 locations in Western Pennsylvania. Tattoo removal is one of many face and body rejuvenation treatments they provide.
She’s starting with the traditional laser removal.
“It’s pretty painful but i want it gone,” she said.
Mike West of Crafton, a tattoo artist himself, is also getting laser treatment.
“I’m getting this whole sleeve removed,” he said.
West says he wants a new tattoo put in its place. He says this happens a lot in his shop.
“I’d say half the clients that come in either had bad work and want it fixed or want it covered up,” said West. “That’s probably the most common is a boyfriend’s name, but there’s a lot of bad work.”
Lasers can get most of the tattoo removed, but sometimes, some color remains.
Laser technician Marcia Hale is doing a new treatment, using the same machine used to put on a tattoo but with a special chemical solution going into the skin instead of ink.
“This solution is able to find the ink still locked in skin and able to lift it to the surface,” said Hale.
Hale even got a tattoo near her foot, just to test out the new treatment.
One of the benefits of this treatment is that it’s not nearly as painful as laser.
“Our number one and two questions are how bad does it hurt and how much does it cost,” said Mark Fleis, the manager at Body Beautiful. “Usually, during the first visit, we give them a test spot so they can see exactly how it feels.”
Fleis says for a softball-sized tattoo it would cost an average of $250 a session for laser removal and $150 to $200 for the chemical solution. Four to seven sessions are usually needed – often a combination of the two types. But consultations are free.
That usually adds up to at least $900 to get it completely removed.

Millions of men and women of all skin colors and ethnicities have realized the benefits of being treated with BOTOX Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin Type A). You can too! When administered by an experienced physician, you can still smile, frown, and look surprised without those lines between your brows. For more information, talk to your doctor or visit www.BotoxCosmetic.com. Ask your doctor the one question that really matters: IS BOTOX Cosmetic right for you?

What is BOTOX Cosmetic?

BOTOX has been used therapeutically for more than 17 years to treat a variety of medical conditions. It is approved in more than 75 countries and remains the most-studied botulinum toxin and one of the most widely researched medicines in the world. In 2002, the same formulation- under the label BOTOX Cosmetic- was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65.

How does BOTOX Cosmetic work?

During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles responsible for frown lines between the brows. By blocking the release of a chemical that causes these muscles to contract, BOTOX Cosmetic enables them to relax. The effects are very localized and, when administered by an experienced physician, do not affect your ability to smile, laugh, or otherwise show expression. Botox Cosmetic is the only product of its kind that has been approved for us in this area.

Will I still be able to make facial expressions?

Although you may see a marked improvement, a treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic does not make you look like you’ve “had work done.” The muscle activity that causes frown lines is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

How soon will I see a difference?

You can expect to see results within days after your treatment, and the appearance of the area between your brows may continue to improve for you up to a week. By day 30 in a phase 3 clinical study, 89% of patients judged the severity of their frown lines between their brows as moderate or better. Visible results have been shown to last up to 4 months. After that, many patients are ready to return for a follow-up treatment. Your own results may vary- be sure to talk to your doctor about what you can expect.

A satisfied customer shared a review on Yellowpages.com last month. Designermommy had wrinkle reduction done and this is what she had to say.

"I would have to say that i was pleasantly surprised! i had been thinking about doing something about my major wrinkles and sun spots (ya, i WAS a sun worshipper) and decided to go for it when someone gave me a FREE treatment card! i was thrilled to finally start repairing the damage, but kind of nervous that it would cost me a fortune for a million treatments! well, i was definitely relieved and happy on so many levels! i LOVE that the person that was talking with me REALLY looked at my face and help me put together my own treatment plan. It was fun to actually watch the sun damage literally fall off my face. and it kinda tickled me when people took a second look and told me i look different, like-healthier or happier?! im not done with my treatments yet, but i can see the difference already! oh, and the cost- i thought it was gonna be WAAAAAY more just for one treatment, so when they told the actual cost for a bunch of treatments i was so relieved! i had money left over in my "face" budget. this is great! ill probably try get this ridiculous tattoo off my ankle next...lol"

Q: How does skin tightening work? What should I expect after treatment?

A: The fractional infrared method delivers infrared light deep into the dermis. This light causes soft tissue coagulation which leads to remodeling of the collagen with-in the dermis. The remodeled collagen fills in wrinkles and sagging, for overall skin tightening. You may experience lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area, which fades within a few hours of treatment. Because so much of the skin is unaffected by the light pulses, there is a quick healing process. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time. A series of treatments at 4-6 week intervals may be required to achieve the desired result of smoother, tighter skin in the face, arms, abdomen & other areas.

Q: What makes these treatments different from others?

A: Rather than using one large beam to deliver infrared light into the skin, we uses the "fractional" approach: delivering an array of small beams. Each beam creates a heated column in the dermis, which is surrounded by an unaffected area. The unaffected tissue stimulates quicker collagen remodeling, and faster healing.

Q: Are these treatments safe? Are they painful?

A: The fractional method is much safer and more comfortable then the bulk heating approach of many other systems because it leaves so much of the skin unaffected by the light pulses. This method also uses 3-stage cooling. It cools the skin before, during, and after each light pulse, so you feel little discomfort during treatment.

We may not shower him with praise
Nor mention his name in song,
And sometimes it seems that we forget
The joy he spreads as he goes along,
But it doesn’t mean that we don’t know
The wonderful role that he has had.
And away down deep in every heart
There’s a place that is just for Dad.....

Still on the fence about our Permanent Makeup? Here are some frequently asked questions to help you decide if it is right for you!

Q. What is Permanent Makeup?
A. Permanent Makeup is pigment placed under the skin (dermis) in a series of dots. These dots or lines, are placed close together to create the desired image.

Q. I'm anxious about letting anyone else design my makeup, especially if it is permanent. What if I don't like the design or color after the procedure?
A. Your technician will assist you when determining design-work if you wish. She will take your facial shape into consideration, design a brow, eyeliner and or lip liner that suits your facial features the
best. You should approve of all design work before she proceeds with the procedure. This is your face, your procedure and it must meet your expectations.

Q. What if eyebrow styles change?
A. Your eyebrow shape will be based on your own preferences in combination with the technician's suggestions for a classic shape that will remain in style and will not be affected by fads or by cosmetic
surgery.

Q. What if eyeliner goes out of style?
A. It is exceptionally difficult to find a stage in history where the appearance of darker, thicker eyelashes was not fashionable. With the eyeliner or eyelash enhancement procedure your natural lash-line is enhanced for a fuller, beautiful, natural result. This procedure is also very popular for men with light colored or sparse eyelashes. It provides wonderful eye definition. Thin, medium and wide top and bottom eyeliners are also very popular. However, when I was doing procedures, I preferred a more conservative, natural look.

Q: How does skin tightening work? What should I expect after treatment?

A: The fractional infrared method delivers infrared light deep into the dermis. This light causes soft tissue coagulation which leads to remodeling of the collagen with-in the dermis. The remodeled collagen fills in wrinkles and sagging, for overall skin tightening. You may experience lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area, which fades within a few hours of treatment. Because so much of the skin is unaffected by the light pulses, there is a quick healing process. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time. A series of treatments at 4-6 week intervals may be required to achieve the desired result of smoother, tighter skin in the face, arms, abdomen & other areas.

Q: What makes these treatments different from others?

A: Rather than using one large beam to deliver infrared light into the skin, we uses the "fractional" approach: delivering an array of small beams. Each beam creates a heated column in the dermis, which is surrounded by an unaffected area. The unaffected tissue stimulates quicker collagen remodeling, and faster healing.

Q: Are these treatments safe? Are they painful?

A: The fractional method is much safer and more comfortable then the bulk heating approach of many other systems because it leaves so much of the skin unaffected by the light pulses. This method also uses 3-stage cooling. It cools the skin before, during, and after each light pulse, so you feel little discomfort during treatment.

Body Beautiful's VelaShape II Body Contouring system is a new way for women to regain their figure after giving birth. VelaShape II is the first FDA-cleared, non-invasive solution for body contouring and cellulite reduction. VelaShape features revolutionary technology including Bi-Polar Radiofrequency, Infrared Light Energy, and Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The precise heating ensures a safe, effective, fast treatment with no downtime. A vacuum and specially designed rollers for the Mechanical Massage smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient heat energy delivery. The net result increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers. The result is gradual smoothing of skin's surface with a noticeable reduction in cellulite circumferential reduction, with noticeable reshaping of the treated area in as little as 4 treatments!

The Body After Baby clinical study found that with 5 VelaShape II treatments, each spaced one week apart, patients measured an average circumferential reduction of 2.33 inches on the buttocks, 1 inch on the thigh, and 2.9 inches on the abdomen area!
